GEEZ!

C'mon man! If you wanted, I would be willing to do an extreme makeover on it for you in the "maybe not too distant future" for ya........


I really don't know if you would want it to be in the "skunkwerks" for any amount of time though,....

mine is out of the box, stripped to the bones, and awaiting all of the goodies I have accumulated over the past week.

I am doing a couple of things to it before re-covering it...
Aileron servos (DS-821) are being recessed- (access from panels on the top)
cutting access panel for wing attachment/tank access/fuel tubing routing/anything else I can think of on bottom of fuse
making canopy "useable"
disabling rudders and making them a bit more aerodynamic
hitec 125mg in horizontal stab
re-engineering the nose blocks to get a touch more "retract" of the front gear, and trying to get a decent pull pull linkage set up on the front gear
applying a radical paint/monokote scheme........

and last but not least, tearing down the .55 and carb to find out why it's running lean while being adjusted pig rich....
CRASHPRO- do you know your needle settings? for both high and low? and your nitro preference? maybe my low is lean, and the high is rich, and maybe the engine is just running decent while being grossly out of tune? or it's fried......... new liner and piston?

I also want to get the jett pipe for it, but don't know exactly which pipe to order from them..... (as I remember, it was the red pipe that was modified to exit from the opposite end) ANYONE?

I also tried restrictors on the gear to slow them down a bit, but they still didn't work.... the gear still slams retracted, and springs down at the right speed. I am afraid that the gear will eventually work itself loose by beating the $#it out of itself every time it retracts..... do I need a different valve for the retracts? I have the green one that comes with the robart system..
